Am I really...

...this old?
39?
Really?

Thank goodness my girls treated me to cake a few days ago.
Check these out.


No calories.


And each one is even sweeter.


The day is not going quite as I had planned.
I woke up at 5.
Did some laundry.
Cleaned things up.
Made a breakfast casserole for everyone.
Drove the boy to his 7 a.m. Jazz session.
Came back home to a sick little girl.

So....
I'm not home alone.

So I'll be here.
Won't be taking the intense sports drill class at the gym with a friend.
Won't be heading to Geneva to window shop.
Won't be seeing "Eat, Pray, Love" all by myself as planned.

I know it sounds really weird,
But I was really looking forward to seeing a movie all by myself!

Oh well.
I can do all those things another day.
Instead,
I did buy myself a good coffee.
I'm enjoying some sunflowers on the counter.
I'll be productive around the house.
I'll get some time in the art studio,
and maybe watch a movie with my little girl.

When you're a mom,
it's really just another day!
